Oil Temp Sender - Should I Have One?

[alan_131]

Hi All. Can I ask for a bit of advice please?

 

My late '99 TDI Ghia 110 has reference to oil temp readout in the handbook, and it shows on the display but always as --.-

There is a spare connector coming from the loom by the filter housing which I think is for the sensor - but the sensor point on the housing has a blanking plug fitted. I found a reference in another post (Early Mk1 Clocks Into Late Mk1 Do They Work) which says early Galaxy's had this readout & remaining range which I also have - but later ones didn't - so now I'm wondering about the clocks...

 

Does anybody know if any came out of the factory like this please? Just trying to track down things that might have changed to try to get a handle on some other issues...

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Alan
